The Red Wings are one of the most successful playoff teams in the modern history of the NHL, and put together one of the most impressive postseason runs in all of sports. Detroit made the playoffs in 25 consecutive seasons from 1984 to 2016 and won the Stanley Cup four times during that streak.

As an Original Six team, the Red Wings also had plenty of playoff success in the pre-expansion era, culminating in four Stanley Cup championships during the 1950s. After a team that featured future hall of famers like Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, and Terry Sawchuk won the Stanley Cup in 1955, the Red Wings suffered through a long championship drought that did not end until 1997.

The man who was perhaps most instrumental in bringing the Stanley Cup back to Detroit was captain Steve Yzerman. Yzerman helped to revitalize the Red Wings during the 80s and 90s. In the 1997 playoffs, Yzerman and the Red Wings swept the Philadelphia Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final. The Red Wings repeated as champions the following season—this time, they swept the Washington Capitals in the final round, and Yzerman won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs.

In 2002, the Red Wings won another Stanley Cup with one of the deepest teams ever assembled. The Red Wings iced a lineup that included future hall of famers like Yzerman, Pavel Datsyuk, Sergei Fedorov, Brendan Shanahan, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille, Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios, and Dominik Hasek. In 2008, Detroit defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins to win the team’s first Stanley Cup of the salary-cap era.

Red Wings fans have one of hockey’s longest running and strangestplayoff traditions. Fans are known to throw dead octopuses onto the ice at Red Wings home games. The practice originated in the 1952, when two brothers threw the first octopus. Detroit did not lose a game in the playoffs, solidifying the octopus’s status as a good luck charm.
